These interventions may be used alone or in combination or sequence and are aimed at addressing mental disorders that occur during childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood (for example, among college-aged youth).

The program supports research that includes studies that examine the acute and long-term therapeutic effects of interventions on mental health outcomes and functioning in various areas (such as family, peer relationships, school, and work), with a particular focus on sensitive periods and key developmental transitions.

The Child and Adolescent Psychosocial Interventions Research Program is comprised of two subdomains: * **Internalizing and Eating Disorders Interventions Research** This program supports research on the confirmatory efficacy and effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and other related mental health conditions in children, adolescents, and young adults.

* **Autism, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Externalizing Disorders Interventions Research** This program supports research on the confirmatory efficacy and effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for autism, ADHD, disruptive behavior disorders, psychosis, and other related mental health conditions in children, adolescents, and young adults.

## Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology and Integrated Treatment Research Program The Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology and Integrated Treatment Research Program supports the evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of pharmacological treatments for children and adolescents with mental disorders, and all research that integrates different treatment modalities into combined or sequential interventions or evaluate the comparative effectiveness of different modalities of treatment.
